The Immorality of God - Slavery in the Old Testament

And of course you've also got the incompatibility of omniscience and omnipotence to contend with. No matter how athrock talks about his invisible friend, he's fucked.
I agree that omniscience is problematic with both omnipotence and free will, but there's no tension so far as I can tell between a being whom possesses the power to do anything that is logically possible, and then uses that power to create beings who are free to make their own choices. That an all-powerful being does not intend to violate the freedom of creatures does not translate into an inability to do so if he so willed (which is of course why the so-called Epicurean paradox currently being discussed in another thread remains valid).
